    (54) A facsimile apparatus incorporating a cordless telephone set that can process an image signal from a remote unit


    (57) A facsimile apparatus includes a cordless telephone set and an image processing circuit (5) that carries out image processing of an original. A remote unit (14, 15, 16, 19, 20) of a cordless telephone receives by an optical communication system (14, 17) image data read out by an original reading scanner (18). In a RF block (11) of the facsimile apparatus incorporating a base unit (20) of the cordless telephone, the image data transmitted from the remote unit (14, 15, 16, 19, 20) of the cordless telephone is received. The received image data is transmitted to the image processing circuit (5) to be reproduced by a printing block (8). If necessary, the image data is processed by a control circuit (4) to be transmitted via a telephone line through a modem (3).
